Enthusiastic and friendly, Maz is newly Joined Fifth Host of the Rodan Symbiont. Wise beyond his years, but still fun and playful, he's excited to see the galaxy with Starfleet and exert his new self.

* '''Full Name''': Maz Rodan (''nee'' Nevron)

* '''Date of Birth''': 237212.11

* '''Place of Birth''': Mak'ala City, Trillius Prime

Maz Rodan is an enthusiastic and adventurous young Trill. He loves exploring the universe and finds excitement in most things. He is bubbly and friendly, yet sometimes often self-reflective. Although he has been Joined since 2397, he is still coming to terms with the 'new' Maz. He enjoys sports, particularly basketball and hockey, and has a strong liking for Earth music and food. He's a lot laid back than other Trill, and enjoys socializing. He was born and raised in Mak'ala City, the capital city of Trill, and considers himself more cosmopolitan and open minded than Trill from other parts of the planet.

** "Oh, boy!" Used for a variety of situations from excitement to horror.

* '''Habits''':

* Has seemingly bottomless pockets, and pulls out a myriad of strange things, but mostly carrot sticks and chocolate bars. When asked where they come from, he nonchalantly replies with "Don't worry about it".

* '''Hobbies and Pastimes''':

** Detective Fiction - from Sherlock Holmes to Hercule Poirot to Dixon Hill.

** Watching F1 Shuttle Racing.

* '''Likes & Dislikes''':

* '''Favourite Foods''':

** Hot Curry. Unusual for Trill, he enjoys spicy foods.

* '''Favourite Drinks''':

** Earl Grey Tea.

* '''Pet''':

Maz was accepted as an astrophysics intern to the noted Trill Science Ministry after completing his studies at Mak'ala Academy, and was set to join the organization as a junior scientist. He changed his mind on the position when he became friendly with a visiting professor from Starfleet Academy - Professor Felix Happer. The elder scientist broadened Maz's mind to studying the universe and they formed a mentor/mentee relationship over the course of a year. In 2393 Maz left the Ministry after his application to Starfleet Academy was successful, and he traveled to Earth.  

Rodan was born in the pools of The Caves of Mak'ala - the sacred caves on Trill where Symbionts are born and raised - in 2226. They were watched over and nurtured by the dedicated Guardians for ten years until 2236 when Rodan was Joined to their First Host.

* '''Marital Status''': Single  

* '''Complexes/Phobias''':

** His mothers reaction to his Joining.

* '''Childhood''': Maz had a typical childhood, living and exploring Mak'ala City. He learned about Trill science and history by hanging out in the museum his father works in. He was an only child until the age of 8, and became a protective and supportive older brother.

* '''Starfleet''': It was always Maz's intention to join Starfleet. He was accepted to the Trill Science Ministry as a junior scientist, but wanted to see the galaxy instead. His previous Host - Jareth - was a Starfleet Officer and so the role comes naturally to him. Maz was already an Ensign serving on the ''USS Dickens'' when he was Joined in 2397. In his subsequent Joining he quickly rose the ranks to full Lieutenant and the position of Chief Science Officer. When he was transferred to the ''Arrow'' in 2398, he requested a demotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade and a posting as Science Officer, to prove his potential and ensure his success post-Joining wasn't a 'fluke'.

* '''Reassociation''': After taking the role of First Officer on the ''Arrow'', Maz has to reconcile his duty to Starfleet as well as his guilty feelings of Reassociation and stepping into Jareth's old life.  

* '''The Faceless Trill''': During his body-swap with [[Artinus Serinus]], Maz was confronted in a dreamscape he named ''Nightmare Land''. In it, he saw foreboding images of Trill without faces who inhabited a dark council chamber in the Symbiosis Commission. The Faceless Trill stood in judgement of Maz and demanded to know his identity - both individually and Joined.

* '''[[What Happens on Risa... (Arrow)|What Happens on Risa...]]''' - Maz arrives on Risa to assume his new post as Science Officer on the ''USS Arrow''. He participates - badly - in the 132nd Annual Risa Regatta, and discovers a new symptom of his recent Joining - seasickness. He finds the hydroponics bay in disarray and cleans it up before the ship departs orbit. He is also present at the crew ceremony and witnesses Commander Shayne be promoted to Captain.

* '''[[Endless Night (Arrow)|Endless Night]]''' - When the crew of the ''Arrow'' is forced to abandon ship above The “Midnight” Planet, Maz is critically injured when his shuttle crashes. He insists Maria Alvarez take temporary command in the event of his incapacitation. When he believes he is dying from his wounds, he instructs Alvarez to take the Rodan Symbiont and ensure it survives - something Alvarez feelings immensely unqualified to do. He is later cured by the resurrected Amanda Crossley in fungal form by the planet and returns to the ship in full health.
